The Frame Library

A Common Data Frame Format for Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detector
has been developed by VIRGO and LIGO. The Frame Library is a software dedicated
to the frame manipulation including file input/output. It is a C code and
a matlab interface is also provided as part of the distribution. This software
is publicly available. The doc sub directory included in each version contains
the software documentation and the format specification.

version 3:v3r85 (September 11, 1999) This is the last version for this format.

Please read the end of the Library Changes section of the documentation to see how to update your code. Usually, a recent FrameLib could read old frame file with a lower format version.

Once transfer, to install this software you should
type:

tar xvfz libframe-8.17.2.tar.gz

Then go in the mgr directory and run the compilation script
(makecc) (see also the installation section in the documentation).A Frame Vector manipulation library (Frv) is also provided.
